Her Brother.

11. What Are You Talking About?

"I don't know what you're talking about Luna," I said, applying perfume. "I saw you with Aace," she said. My heart sank. "What? Why are you making things up?" I said, trying to brush it off.

"I saw you touching his waist and kissing his neck! I heard you two in the old guest room!" Luna stood up. "And if I did? Are you going to tell Avis and ruin their friendship? Or tell Xavier so Aace is humiliated?" I said.

"Stop, Sebastian...this is so wrong," Luna sat back down. "I know it's wrong," I said. "THEN WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING IT?!" Luna yelled. "Stop with this nonsense, Luna, it's so fuc-" I yelled, but then August walked into the room.

"Daddy...are you yelling at mommy?" he asked, clutching his teddy bear. "No, no baby, I'm just... Let's go to the living room, sweetheart," I said, picking him up and smiling.

Avis asked with a smile, "Are we leaving now?" I replied, "No, maybe later. I just need to talk to Luna quickly," also smiling.

She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is something wrong?" I reassured her with a smile, "No, everything's fine."

Before leaving August with Avis, I said, "I'll be back. Hold August for me." When I entered the bedroom, I saw Luna packing her bags.

Trying to grab her arm, I said, "Luna," but she pushed me away. I raised my voice, "Luna!" and pulled her up, causing her to yell, "What the heck?!"

Confused, I asked, "What's wrong with you?" Luna retorted, "No, what's wrong with you? You're engaging in something disgusting and acting like it's no big deal!"

Defensive, I questioned, "You think Aace is disgusting?" Luna clarified, "No, you're disgusting! You're an adult, Sebastian! Aace is only 28! What's gotten into you?"

"There's an issue with our age gap? Yes, I'm 41 and he's 28. So what? He's interested in me," I stated. "Sebastian, do you realize you're manipulating his emotions by taking advantage of his feelings?" Luna shouted.

"I know Aace likes you! I can see it! But using him for sex when you know how he feels? Is that not wrong?" Luna continued. "Don't accuse me of things, Luna. He likes me, and I don't care," I replied. "See? That's the problem with you," Luna exclaimed.

"You may think everything is fine and that you don't care, but it's not right! If you know Aace likes you, stop having sex with him and disregarding his feelings!" Luna demanded. "Luna, can't you understand?" I tried to explain.

"I'm trying to understand, Sebastian. I've been trying my best to understand you ever since I met you," Luna said, tears welling up. "Help me understand!" she yelled, slapping me. "I'm exhausted," she said, sitting down and wiping away her tears.

I took a seat beside her and embraced her. "I apologize," I said. "Apologies won't fix things, Sebastian," she replied. "I have to admit..." I sighed. "You know I still hold out hope for a chance with you, right?" I asked. "Yes," she confirmed.

"There's something I need to tell you..." I began. "I don't know why, but..." I hesitated. "What is it?" she prompted. "I hate seeing Aace in pain. The first time we were together, I caused him a lot of pain and bruises, and he couldn't walk," I confessed.

"You're causing Aace pain," she observed, looking down. "I know, and I'm sorry. Nowadays, I don't want to hurt him like that anymore," I explained. "In terms of...?" she inquired with a smile. "No, I don't want him to suffer," I clarified. "Do you have feelings for Aace?" she asked. "What?" I was taken aback.

"You seem to," she insisted. "I don't..." I started, but she cut me off. "You do like Aace," she laughed. What the fuck is wrong with her. Earlier she just slapped me..?
